According to TMZ, Teresa, who has to adhere to a 10:00 pm curfew as part of her probation, nearly missed her check-in time had it not been for an Uber driver, who was willing to break speed limits to get her home and the merciful cop, who stopped but didn’t ticket them.

Teresa was accompanied by her eldest daughter Gia and had some pretty nice words to say about her former nemesis, “I’m happy to be here to support my brother and my sister-in-law Melissa for the grand opening on her boutique Envy.”

Ahhhh… girls can dream right? We here at Reality Tea got to thinking about what we would do if we won the $1.5 billion dollar Powerball Jackpot drawing tonight, besides, obviously giving ourselves raises and bailing Teresa Giudice out of tax debt.

Yes, if we won the jackpot we could do many a’splendored things to better reality television, from starting our own reality shows (yes, please!), to completing ChateauSheree!

Her book releases on February 9th and one of Teresa’s first book signing appearances will be at Bookends Bookstore in Ridgewood, NJ. She’ll be there on February 10th at 7pm. So far her website doesn’t list any upcoming events on her schedule.

Teresa Giudice‘s cellmate from Danbury Federal Penitentiary is looking to get her 15 minutes of fame by association by revealing what Teresa was really like in prison!

Damn – tabloids are putting a lot of money on the books lately! While Teresa reportedly spent her incarceration working out, doing hair, and eating, Teresa’s former cellie, Deseree Bradshaw, says Teresa was always crying and got preferential treatment from prison staff. Being on Bravo pays!

Now that recent ‘get out of jail, free’ card holder Teresa Giudice is back in the bosom of her family after spending nearly a year in lock-down on fraud charges, inquiring minds want to know, has she been gallivanting around town? Well the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, who is under house arrest, spent intimate time with her four daughters, hubby Joe and extended family members over the holiday and now, she is reportedly trying to get her outside life back on track.

Whenever Teresa wants to leave her home, she must first have the Bureau of Prisons sign off on the request according to a source who spoke to People Magazine. “She asks permission to go places. The probation officer then gives her the parameters of that. He will ask her which stores she is going to and then says, ‘You can go from this time to this time.’ She can go to work, go to the doctor or go see her lawyer – all with the officer’s permission.” Reportedly, if Teresa needs to travel to New York City for RHONJ, she can, as long as the trip is work-related. However, if she wants to travel elsewhere, she’ll have to put the brakes on those plans, until after her house arrest ends on February 5 of next year.

As y’all know, everyone’s favorite table-flipper was released from prison bright and early yesterday morning. Teresa Giudice was greeted by her family and a media presence usually reserved for a royal wedding. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star even got a sweet new ride out of the deal…I guess now that she’s served her time on all those bankruptcy fraud charges, she can go back to spending the money she claimed not to have!

After nearly a year in a minimum security prison, Teresa was certainly elated to be reunited with her loved ones, and her lawyer informed the crowd that the reality star had a “very emotional, very private” homecoming with Juicy Joe and her four daughters…and a camera crew from People magazine exclusively capturing the entire event for Tuesday’s print edition. He also asserted that Teresa wouldn’t be making any public appearances in the coming weeks. Yeah, and I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona!
